She has been a coach and accompanist for competition choirs, bands, and participated in recording projects. Leading worship teams with piano/voice, through hymns and choruses, on both piano and keys is a true joy. She reads and writes music charts, teaches theory and harmony, and loves to perform in ensembles. Elaine and her husband, Matt, developed and taught Music Academy as an after-school program with 60+ students per semester, teaching rhythm using games and exercises, sight singing and ear training, using both secular and sacred music. A highlight has been taking their students to sing the national anthem at pro and college sports venues. Making learning fun engages kids and grows their desire to be their best and develop their talent! Elaine is a graduate of San Jose State University and holds a B.S. Graphic Design / Art Direction.
